Build Quality and Design
The Home 3 Pro is available in Ultra White, Space Grey, and Ultra Black. The cable wraps around the unit cleanly, with three length options giving flexibility for different driveway and garage layouts. The IP66 rating puts it above most competitors — it handles sustained heavy rain, hose spray, and the general outdoor punishment a UK climate delivers year-round.
The unit is UK10 hardness rated and 95% UV resistant, which matters for a device fixed to an external wall for a decade or more. These are not common specs for home chargers.
Installation
A 32A dedicated circuit is required. The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro is OZEV-approved, so the EV Chargepoint Grant applies where eligible. Installation takes two to four hours for most properties. The unit includes a built-in earthing system, reducing the additional protection components your installer needs to add.
Charging Speed
On a standard single-phase UK supply, the Home 3 Pro delivers 7.4kW, adding roughly 25 miles of range per hour. For most drivers that means a full charge overnight regardless of battery size.
The charger adapts to your home's available power and solar generation in real time, meaning the actual charge rate shifts throughout a session depending on your energy situation.
Solar Charging Modes
Three modes set the Hypervolt apart from most competitors:
- Boost Mode — charges at full 7.4kW, drawing from both solar and grid as needed
- Eco Mode — prioritises solar generation but pulls from the grid to maintain a minimum 1.4kW charge rate if solar output drops
- Super Eco Mode — uses surplus solar only, pausing automatically if generation falls below the minimum threshold
Super Eco Mode is the most efficient for solar owners who are not in a rush. Eco Mode suits drivers who need the car charged by morning regardless of overnight generation.
App and Smart Features
The Hypervolt app covers scheduling, energy monitoring, and tariff optimisation. Octopus Intelligent Go is natively integrated — the charger communicates directly with Octopus to charge automatically during cheap overnight periods without manual scheduling. Alexa voice control is also supported.
Firmware updates arrive over Wi-Fi. Hypervolt has a strong record of pushing useful improvements this way, including solar mode refinements and improved tariff scheduling.
